Comparison of Finite Element Methods and Satellite InSAR for Monitoring Deformations of a Large Tailings Dam

Following the recent catastrophic failure of several mine tailings dams there has been much interest in the use of numerical modeling and remote sensing for monitoring the safety and stability of these structures. This thesis presents a case study that investigates the accuracy of InSAR measurements...
